106 at Bismarck a week after they had snow? How many places in the CONUS have gone from snow to 100 in a week? I think Denver did that last September?

Wow, thats the same record maximum as Central Park, which was set in the peak of the dust bowl in 1936. Does that location have records that go that far back? I wonder how hot they were back then?

Probably especially in this era of deluges.....speaking of which we got barely any rain here today, more bark than bite (bark being thunder and lightning lol). The part that confuses me is that the radar looked really good for the south shore, so where did all the rain go?

I'm thinking once the solstice happens things will dry out nicely for the rest of June and most of July, with getting into a wetter pattern again in August with tropical activity. We just need a two week stretch of dry weather and I think we'll get that. Similar to 2011. Remember that was one of our wettest years but we still topped 100 in late July. (Happened in 1983 too.)

I predict within a decade or so, portable carry on air conditioners will become common. We'll all be carrying our portable cooling units with us everywhere we go.

100 degrees now hopefully much more likely for coastal areas in July. I see this summer is being compared to the Dust Bowl era because of drought and extreme heat combo.

awesome, the Dust Bowl era is back

This is being compared to the Dust Bowl era with the drought in the Great Plains and the extreme heat. Thoughts?

Note the records are from 1988 that was also the last time Bismarck ND had consecutive days of 100+

Chris did you read about 10% of the Giant Sequoia on the planet being dead because of the big wild fire last summer? Also, the last time Bismarck had back to back days of 100+ was back in 1988.

The sea breeze issue at JFK is interesting, sometimes JFK attains the highest temps despite it, because temps rise so quickly in the morning that they reach 90 before noon. The same happens here, I think because all the tightly packed homes block the sea breeze lol

It's very easy to objectively analyze this. FOIA allows us to uncover who takes how much money from the fossil fuel cartels in political donations (aka bribes). Turns out that most of them are republicans, along with a few hybrids like Manchin who lives in coal country.

I'm telling you right now if the forecast is for 90 at Central Park it will never happen. The forecast has to be for 92 or higher there for it to actually hit 90. 90 at JFK is more likely, especially if the sea breeze holds off until after 1.

oh thats disappointing, so no 90 degrees through this entire stretch at JFK? This isnt really much of a heatwave then

bugs also disappear when it's very hot and dry.....I'd much rather have that

sounds like you're worried about being "canceled"

Conservatives stopped caring about science and the environment as soon as they started taking large bribes from corrupt corporations.

you dont think corporate "scientists" who work for the fossil fuel cartels have their own self interests? I dont trust them as far as I can throw them, they're as bad as tobacco "doctors"

Yeah, and really big storms too and triple phaser snowstorms. Makes New England seem like Atlanta Anywhere from Moncton, New Brunswick through Halifax, Nova Scotia up to Labrador is good. Also, nice tropical season so you get the full east coast experience. Isn't that far from NY either.

wtf. I thought those peckerheads only ate insects and worms? I have a lot of them too. Cover everything up with netting

Time to put some netting on those plants..... They need to stick to worms.

Halifax, Nova Scotia. Great night life too.

I think Chicago being so dry is telling and might be more of a reason for us to hit 100 degrees in July than anything we get around here. It can get to 100 in a hurry here regardless of soil moisture conditions in July if we get the right wind direction (1983 and 2011 are cases in point.) and some of our biggest heatwaves actually come from the Midwest.

The highest temp I ever remember in June for here is 98, even in late June and with a WNW flow. It's very hard to hit 100 here in June. But it does prime the ground for what can happen in July, as a lot of those years where we hit upper 90s in June we topped 100 in July..... If you look up JFK 100 degree summers, more often than not it was 95+ June 20-30 ..... It becomes very difficult to hit 100 again in August, because always seems to be much more humid than July. I think the last time JFK hit 100 in August was 1983, though not sure about that? Upper 90s almost seem to be as likely in early September as they are in August. 98 seems to be our peak here in any summer month outside of July (and I consider September to be a summer month now.)

How come the June heatwave of 1966 isn't in this list? I think that was the only time JFK hit 100 in June (once) and three more times in July! The above June heatwaves look pretty good, but compare them to the heatwaves we had in April of 1976 and 2002 and they're not much better than that (except the one from 1925 which had multiple days near 100)....
